Amid heated criticism Twitter temporarily suspends account verifications

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Twitter has been facing heated criticism since it verified the account of Jason Kessler – an organizer of white supremacist rally in Virginia.

Facing massive outrage from its users – over the verification of the account of the organizer of the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia – social networking platform Twitter on Thursday said that it has temporarily suspended its account verification exercise.

Over a post from its official handle, @TwitterSupport, Twitter said, “Verification was meant to authenticate identity and voice but it is interpreted as an endorsement or an indicator of importance. We recognize that we have created this confusion and need to resolve it. We have paused all general verifications while we work and will report back soon.”[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]The micro-blogging site has been facing heated criticism since it gave a verification badge to Jason Kessler – an organizer of the far-right ‘Unite the Right’ protest – on Wednesday.

After Twitter’s verification – which provides a blue mark next to the names of the verified users – Kessler wrote his more than 13,000 followers, “Looks like I FINALLY got verified by Twitter. I must be the only working class white advocate with that distinction.”

Enraged by Twitter’s decision to verify Kessler’s account, several users – including celebrities – condemned the social networking platform’s move through several posts on Twitter.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]JTNDYmxvY2txdW90ZSUyMGNsYXNzJTNEJTIydHdpdHRlci10d2VldCUyMiUyMGRhdGEtbGFuZyUzRCUyMmVuJTIyJTNFJTNDcCUyMGxhbmclM0QlMjJlbiUyMiUyMGRpciUzRCUyMmx0ciUyMiUzRUhleSUyMCUzQ2ElMjBocmVmJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ0d2l0dGVyLmNvbSUyRmphY2slM0ZyZWZfc3JjJTNEdHdzcmMlMjU1RXRmdyUyMiUzRSU0MGphY2slM0MlMkZhJTNFJTNBJTIwdmVyeSUyMGFjdGl2ZSUyMHVzZXIlMkMlMjAyLjFNJTIwZm9sbG93ZXJzJTIwaGVyZSUzQSUyMHRoaXMlMjBpcyUyMGRpc2d1c3RpbmcuJTIwVmVyaWZ5aW5nJTIwd2hpdGUlMjBzdXByZW1hY2lzdHMlMjByZWluZm9yY2VzJTIwdGhlJTIwaW5jcmVhc2luZyUyMGJlbGllZiUyMHRoYXQlMjB5b3VyJTIwc2l0ZSUyMGlzJTIwYSUyMHBsYXRmb3JtJTIwZm9yJTIwaGF0ZSUyMHNwZWVjaC4lMjBJJTIwZG9uJTI2JTIzMzklM0J0JTIwd2FudCUyMHRvJTIwZ2l2ZSUyMHVwJTIwVHdpdHRlciUyQyUyMGJ1dCUyMEklMjBtYXklMjBoYXZlJTIwdG8uJTIwV2hvJTIwZG8lMjB5b3UlMjB2YWx1ZSUyMG1vcmUlMkMlMjB1c2VycyUyMGxpa2UlMjBtZSUyMG9yJTIwaGltJTNGJTIwJTNDYSUyMGhyZWYlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnQuY28lMkY1eW1jTmZGdkgwJTIyJTNFaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ0LmNvJTJGNXltY05mRnZIMCUzQyUyRmElM0UlM0MlMkZwJTNFJTI2bWRhc2glM0IlMjBNaWNoYWVsJTIwSWFuJTIwQmxhY2slMjAlMjglNDBtaWNoYWVsaWFuYmxhY2slMjklMjAlM0NhJTIwaHJlZiUzRCUyMmh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGdHdpdHRlci5jb20lMkZtaWNoYWVsaWFuYmxhY2slMkZzdGF0dXMlMkY5Mjg0NDY5MDE1MTAzNDA2MDglM0ZyZWZfc3JjJTNEdHdzcmMlMjU1RXRmdyUyMiUzRU5vdmVtYmVyJTIwOSUyQyUyMDIwMTclM0MlMkZhJTNFJTNDJTJGYmxvY2txdW90ZSUzRSUwQSUzQ3NjcmlwdCUyMGFzeW5jJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZwbGF0Zm9ybS50d2l0dGVyLmNvbSUyRndpZGdldHMuanMlMjIlMjBjaGFyc2V0JTNEJTIydXRmLTglMjIlM0UlM0MlMkZzY3JpcHQlM0UlMEElM0NibG9ja3F1b3RlJTIwY2xhc3MlM0QlMjJ0d2l0dGVyLXR3ZWV0JTIyJTIwZGF0YS1sYW5nJTNEJTIyZW4lMjIlM0UlM0NwJTIwbGFuZyUzRCUyMmVuJTIyJTIwZGlyJTNEJTIybHRyJTIyJTNFSGklMjAlM0NhJTIwaHJlZiUzRCUyMmh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGdHdpdHRlci5jb20lMkZUd2l0dGVyJTNGcmVmX3NyYyUzRHR3c3JjJTI1NUV0ZnclMjIlM0UlNDBUd2l0dGVyJTNDJTJGYSUzRSUyQyUzQ2JyJTNFJTNDYnIlM0VIb3BlJTIweW91JTIwcmVhbGl6ZSUyMHRoZXJlJTI2JTIzMzklM0JzJTIwbm8lMjBzdWNoJTIwdGhpbmclMjBhcyUyMGJlaW5nJTIwbmV1dHJhbCUyMHdoZW4lMjBpdCUyMGNvbWVzJTIwdG8lMjBOYXppcy4lMjBWZXJpZnlpbmclMjBKYXNvbiUyMEtlc3NsZXIlMjBpcyUyMGElMjBwb2xpdGljYWwlMjBhY3QlMjAtLSUyMGFuZCUyMG9uZSUyMHRoYXQlMjBwdXRzJTIweW91JTIwb24lMjB0aGUlMjB3cm9uZyUyMHNpZGUlMjBvZiUyMGhpc3RvcnkuJTIwJTNDYSUyMGhyZWYlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnQuY28lMkZWbHZEYU13UU8zJTIyJTNFaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ0LmNvJTJGVmx2RGFNd1FPMyUzQyUyRmElM0UlM0MlMkZwJTNFJTI2bWRhc2glM0IlMjBTaW1yYW4lMjBKZWV0JTIwU2luZ2glMjAlMjglNDBTaWtoUHJvZiUyOSUyMCUzQ2ElMjBocmVmJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ0d2l0dGVyLmNvbSUyRlNpa2hQcm9mJTJGc3RhdHVzJTJGOTI4NDQyNTcyMzkzMDc0Njg4JTNGcmVmX3NyYyUzRHR3c3JjJTI1NUV0ZnclMjIlM0VOb3ZlbWJlciUyMDklMkMlMjAyMDE3JTNDJTJGYSUzRSUzQyUyRmJsb2NrcXVvdGUlM0UlMEElM0NzY3JpcHQlMjBhc3luYyUyMHNyYyUzRCUyMmh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGcGxhdGZvcm0udHdpdHRlci5jb20lMkZ3aWRnZXRzLmpzJTIyJTIwY2hhcnNldCUzRCUyMnV0Zi04JTIyJTNFJTNDJTJGc2NyaXB0JTNFJTIwJTBB[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]And amid several more posts questioning Twitter’s move to verify Kesslers’s account, the company CEO Jack Dorsey, over a post in Twitter, said, “We should’ve communicated faster on this: our agents have been following our verification policy correctly, but we realised some time ago the system is broken and needs to be reconsidered.

Oppo is gearing up to introduce its Reno 15 lineup in India, with the series expected to focus heavily on enhanced imaging, performance stability and creator-friendly tools. The smartphone, which has already been launched in China, is anticipated to reach the Indian market in the coming weeks although the company has not yet shared an official date.

Expected price range in India

Industry estimates suggest the standard Oppo Reno 15 will fall in the upper-mid price bracket. While the Reno 15 Pro was launched in China at CNY 3,699 (roughly Rs 46,000), the Reno 15 base model is expected to be more affordable, likely between Rs 32,000 and Rs 38,000, depending on RAM and storage configurations.

Expected features and specifications

The Reno 15 series is expected to highlight Oppo’s improvements in sustained performance, camera capabilities and thermal management. Globally, the models run on ColorOS 16 and feature advanced cooling, particularly aimed at gaming and continuous live-streaming use.

For India, the upcoming Oppo Reno 15 is likely to offer:

  • A high-refresh-rate AMOLED display
  • Triple-camera setup with a primary sensor optimized for better low-light clarity
  • Secondary wide-angle and portrait cameras
  • Front camera with autofocus and AI-led enhancements for live streaming
  • Around 5,000mAh battery with fast wired charging support
  • AI-driven system optimization for smoother long-term performance

Design-wise, it is expected to follow the Reno 15 Pro’s flat-frame style, offering a slim profile, improved durability and brighter display output. With growing demand for creator-focused smartphones in the country, the Reno 15 is being positioned for users interested in mobile photography, vlogging and gaming.
